ISSUE:
Wind noise from the front doors caused by the inner waist seals not contacting the door glass.

^
Road testing the vehicle with masking tape applied over the seal. This should eliminate the noise.
Repair Procedure
^
Remove the door top roll.

Slide out the inner waist seal and discard.
^
Insert the new waist seal.
^
Install the door top roll.
^
Road test the vehicle to confirm the repair.
